    Yes, how couldn't JVG or our guards not noticing that. In the third quarters, their two Centres have 5 and 4 fouls and their PF with 4 fouls. Why not go inside to foul them out?

    Cuttino is very important to this team's offense. If he just keeps on missing the 3 pointer, the defenders are going to stay close to the paint.

    i bet he could get those assist, but he never passes the ball. SO he could most likely get those assist, but i guess we will never know since he dont want to pass the ball.

    I don't think so. In tonit's game, TD made 9 FG so far. Even if all of them are assisted by Parker, he still has more As than SF. I am not blaming SF, because he is doing what his coach tells him to do. But JVG'd better make sure other players will pass the ball, or we are doomed to lose.

    Yao did, and the defenders collapsed in on him. He kicked it out, and Cuttino has missed some wide open shots. Van Gundy better let Piatkowski get some 4th quarter time. Cuttino's illness is affecting his shot.

    LOL. All those off-season pick up mean nothing in strengthening our shooting Department.

    What a joke. A good passer can have a number of assists even if he is playing with you ! Look at Jason Kidd and Stephon Marbury. They can make 8+ assists per game when they were playing for the mediocre New Jersey Nets. You guys are always remorseful for missing Richard Jefferson, but I will tell you RJ will only have less than 10PPG this year if he is destined to play with Steve Francis.

    Maurice is really a bad player if he can't hit his shot. Can Padgett be worse?

    I hope you are jesting. Tim Duncan is probably thinking Tony Parker is John Stockton compared to Stevie.

    Francis is not too bad tonight; but I hope he swapped his assist with his turnovers. :(

    JVG is so Stubborn ... he simply refuse to use boki n padgett etc. A 8 man rotation will really wear our players our at the end of the season which definitely will cause us problems fighting for playoff position.

    Jermaine Oneal is one of the best shot blockers in the game. Steve is getting rejected in the paint. This is why tonight's perimeter shooting was so important. The Rockets picked a bad night to go cold from the perimeter.

    I don't understand why JVG keeps Yao on the bench for so long. He was doing well in 3rd.

    Mind you, they have been picking the last ten nights for poor shooting. At least, that's what I am feeling now.

    Im not watching this game live.. why are our guys missing so many shots? Is Indy's DEF that good? or are we just cold? Hows the ball movement, last few games its been better but we were just not making our shots off open looks.. any quick recaps?
